As I discuss in my Patreon creator statement, the main reason why I first joined this site was to find a financially viable way for me to write about complex transgender (and other activist) topics without having to deal with the traditional news/media outlet tendency to only publish short overly-simplified pieces that cater to cisgender-centric sensibilities. Thanks to your generous support, I’ve been able to make that happen!

Given the popularity of those pieces, plus the never-ending onslaught of misinformation churned out by trans-unaware, trans-suspicious, and trans-antagonistic forces (e.g., social conservatives, TERFS, pathologizing psychologists, media pundits), I’ve decided to create even more essays countering common anti-trans myths and propaganda. Like the previous essays, these will be published on Medium, where they will remain free and accessible for all to read and share with others.

I have a few ideas in mind already. But since I am doing this as part of a public endeavor—one that is made possible thanks to my patrons!—I figured that I should ask y’all for your input: Are there any pervasive anti-trans talking points, myths, propaganda, etc., that would you like me to tackle in a future essay?

Feel free to leave your suggestions in the comment section below, or send me a private message through this platform if you prefer. I can also be reached by email. I cannot guarantee that I will be able to address all of the ideas I receive, but I will definitely add them to my potential “to-do” list. If I need help prioritizing them, perhaps I’ll even create a poll for people here to vote upon?
